I got more chicks!!!

[twigcrafter]

I am the proud mama of 25 assorted clean legged baby bantams.
They were shipped from Ideal yesterday and I got them from the PO this morning. That was so fast. I didn't have the brooder tested for 24 hours like I like to do. They are sleeping under the momma heating pad right now.
They are so cute I want to wake them up so I can see them lol.
here are some blurry pictures ...

Did they send extras? It looks like you got some crested and they don't look like Sultans or Silkies or White Black Polish. Shipment before last they sent me LF Polish as my extra.

Also, did you get some EEs?!?! I see a few with puffy cheeks but it said they are done for the year!

 

[twigcrafter]

No extras this time. But I'd much rather have healthy than extra. But extras and healthy, That I would love.
Yes, A few have poofy heads. Maybe bantam polish?? Or mutants.
I'm keeping them all this time. Last time I got assorted bantams I sold most before I knew what they were. I looked for chubby cheeks but nope. I really wanted some EE, and D'anvers. Maybe they will fluff up.

Hey SunHwaKwon,
I think you're right about the EE. I found it today in the brooder and just posted on the breed/gender page.

You got the chick skills! You spotted my Japanese chick last January. Thanks again for your help

Haha awesome! I love guessing on chicks - that is one thing I love about the Ideal bantam specials

I love Ideal's bantam specials too. I didn't realize there were 4 polish, I think I confused one for another EE so you probably have only 1 EE with the other chipmunk non crested one being a Dark Cornish. I see a Barred Rock in this set of pictures (the black one with the white dot on its head).

The EE I see is yellow, not chipmunk. It is pictured at the waterer. But now looking again I see the chipmunk one you were talking about so I think there are 2.

They don't have bantam rocks so I think the black one with the dot is something other than Barred Rock. I will look through the pics and see if I can guess

Oo good catch, I didn't know that Ideal doesn't have bantam barred rocks. When I had an order of standard barred rocks there was a tiny one, I thought it was a bantam but now I realize it must've been a runt. I suppose the one that one chick could be a Barred Old English or Cuckoo Old English. Do you mean the yellow chick next to the Red Polish chick? I was thinking that one is a Japanese due to its size.

Cute! I love getting chicks. I have two broodies sitting on 24 eggs total. Hopefully I will get at least 2 chicks.
